Found a UT with disc brakes in piece no trans tag. Did the engine tag get record to what transmission tag it went with? Any ideas? Seen a late 1952 UTE 12 from end of production with disc brakes then also UTU 100 from end of production with drum brakes?
 
Have a 1952 UTE with drums. Also a 1958 UTSD-M with drums. Disc brakes on a 1956 UTSD special. Am thinking 1953 when 12v system was first used. In mid 1952 the first changes were made preparing for the 12v. MM used up older brake/crakcase setups for export.
 
Not positive: I am sure there are variations: but the disc brakes went into use on the UB. Disc also used on the hand clutch UT that over lapped the UB (53-55).
 
The U parts book shows brake pedal change for UTS 01207139 and after(1952),UTU 01108798(1951) and after and all UTE and UTN. These are the 2 brake pedals on the left replacing the 3 brake pedals,but there doesn't seem to be a serial split for the disk brake themselves.In this area almost every disk brake U and the ZA with disk brakes I've seen are equipped with the live power take off option. Just my thoughts but I think if you ordered the LPTO you got the new disk brakes and if you didn't MM used up the Bendix drum brakes. I've got a 51 U with disks and LPTO and a 55 UTS with disks and no LPTO and a 52 U with drum brakes. Just another of Molines production mysteries.
 
In order to make lpto option work they had to be adapted to disc brake. Lpto bolted right on disc but not on drum.
 
I think 53 ZBU is on the money. I have also seen an older UTS with live power and the disc brake only on the left side and drum brake on the right, hooked to the 3 pedal system.

P.S. Some two pedal tractors have both pedals on the left, some on the right. I have a '54 UTS(D) diesel with both pedals on the right. I think the 2 pedals on the left were earlier.
